Today was a good day too - first treatment of Whole Brain Radiation. The girls at the hospital were amazing, and Mumsie did a fantastic job of the photo shoot! I still found it hard to keep a straight face when they were strapping my head in, with Gina's distraught comments still ringing in my ears 'oh my god - is it going to be a Metal Mask like Hannibal Lector?' - how funny.
The whole process took seriously less than 10 minutes - and I didn't feel a thing. Side effects will not kick in until mid next week which is great.
Tomorrow night we have organised a dinner party at home with Mumsie, Armin, Penny, Sue and Sarah (and Millie of course) so I am really looking forward to that.
All of the messages, and words of support and encouragement have been amazing, and mean the absolute world to Marc and I and the rest of our family and friends - we really are very lucky!
Thoughts are with you daily Lou. Constantly sending positive vibes your way. You have been such an inspiration to me over the past 8 months, and for that i am forever grateful. Your emails and messages have kept me strong, and for that i thank you. Having this blog is a fabulous idea. Stay strong luvvy. xxx Janette

Yummo - I'd be onto one of those chocolate fondant puddings at every meal then! LOL! You're all looking just awesome ... so nice to see Judi over there with you guys. Thanks for the pics of your mask - my overactive imagination has now dispelled the Hannibal images! LOL!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the update photos from your big dinner bash .... tell Armin I will be disappointed if there aren't any 'dreadlock" photos around the dinner table!!! Well, you continue to live it up, Lou Lou - continue looking after yourself and enjoying all these great events ... as per usual, we are thinking of you all the time, every day - sending BIG hugs and kisses to you, Marc, Judi and of course Millie.
Speak to you soon poppet!
All of our love - Gina, Cory, Jalen, Shadow, Duke and Tilly.
